Assessment of solubility and viscosity of ultra-high molecular weight polymeric thickeners in ethane, propane and butane for miscible EOR

Natural gas liquid (NGL), a mixture consisting primarily of ethane, propane, and butane, is an excellent enhanced oil recovery (EOR) solvent. However, NGL is typically about ten times less viscous than the crude oil within the carbonate or sandstone porous media, which causes the NGL to finger throu...
